The riots continue in the streets of Detroit. Protesters… Wait, no, that’s not it.

Thanks to all that have contributed their time, patience and even Platinum -in the form of resource boosters - to achieve this collective goal. Cheers, and let’s hope we don’t have to do something similar ever again!*

Who am I kidding? This is Warfarm :-p

In other, less breaking, news: Valentine/Valentenno weekend is on. For a limited time, the Valentine colour palette is available at the Market for just 1 credit. If you don’t have it yet, don’t skip this opportunity to add all those shades of pink that you never even knew you needed in your life.

What’s people’s views on the Aksomati? They’re fun, but I’m thinking I made a mistake in sticking Lethal Torrent on them- Even with a Carrier with maxed out Ammo Capacity I still run out when I main them, even potato+(1)forma’d. I’m thinking I need something to up the ammo efficiency ASAP, and also that, yeah, upping the firerate ultimately is a poor tradeoff because the amount of “hosing the terrain” you end up doing with them while splattering baddies.

I’m not a big fan of the bullet-hose secondaries and haven’t used them much after max ranking them, so take anything I say with a grain of salt.

From what I’ve heard, AkSomati (together with AkStiletto Prime) are among the most viable, so they’re not a bad choice. Regarding the ammo shortage, have you tried them with a Pistol Ammo Mutation mod? You can get it from rotation C in Survivals and Excavations (so every 20 minutes/four excavators), and Baro -the Void Trader guy who visits a Relay every two weeks- also offers a Primed variant from time to time.

Also, if you want to counter the increased fire rate from Lethal Torrent without giving up on multishot, you can use Creeping Bullseye. That’s one of the ‘corrupted mods’ that you get randomly after finding and opening an Orokin Vault in any of the Orokin Derelict missions except Defense and Assassination (info).

Lastly, and least useful, there’s also the Pistol Scavenger aura mod (obtainable through random alerts) which increases the amount of pistol ammo you get from pistol ammo drops, but I wouldn’t recommend going with this since there’re much more useful aura mods that you’ll want to use instead.

I’ve pointed where you can get all of these mods in case you prefer to get this stuff yourself, but I’m sure you can ask in Clan chat for people willing to hand you over some duplicates, myself included.

There’s a new Warframe event - the first in almost a year - going on until Thursday 9th, 2 pm ET (7 pm GMT). The scoring rules are kind of complex, so you can read the full explanation here. The gist of it is that, contrary to past events, there are both individual and Clan rewards. Individual rewards are cosmetics, and the event weapon, the Ignis Wraith, is locked behind a Clan score.

(Yes, that means that for the first time in a Warframe event, you can be a very active participant as an individual and still miss out on the grand reward just because other people around you aren’t up to the task. I’m sure that’s going to inspire a lot of harmony and good feelings within Clans across the game… Edit: Due to the inevitable uproar, DE have relented and significantly reduced the Clan score needed for participants to get, at the very least, a craftable blueprint of the event weapon.)

Anyway, just a heads up for all those players that are taking a break from the game but may not want to miss these time-limited events.

So, what do you do when you’ve got your Weapons all shiny & levelled up, forma’d, potato’d and such, but you don’t have the super-ultra-rare-mods (either Rivens for them, or Primed Everything)? Plat or go home?

I’m doing fine on the Starmap, but I’m still feeling like carried luggage more often than not on Sorties where the enemies get ridiculous & I’m emptying clips into their faces. I’ve swapped my main loadout to be more Corrosive-heavy, hoping that helps, as that appears to be the meta in Damage 2.0.

the basic Hek is fairly easy to mod for damage even without any primed/rivens and does ok enough damage in close rangeand usually you don’t even need to kill anything in sortie missions and there are squad options to fix that like banshee with the 10+ damage multiplier or any of the scaling frame abilities.

@Dilapinated: Before getting into Rivens, Primed and more rare stuff, I think the next thing you may be lacking is Corrupted Mods (as in those mods you get from Orokin Vaults). In the case of the warframes, they’ll allow to fine tune your builds to achieve higher performances. In the case of the corrupted mods for weapons, it’s usually a matter of min-maxing damage, but that’s almost always the case with weapon mods. I know you are interested in doing Vault runs, so now that the event is out of the way I’m sure we’ll be able to organize a group to do some.

And speaking of the event…

WE ACHIEVED THE ‘HARDCORE’ GOAL! (reach a score within the top 10% of clans of our size)

Congrats everyone, and thanks for all that participated and contributed towards this collective score! It means that our Clan will receive the Ignis Wraith Research, and therefore everybody will be able to get an Ignis Wraith from now on, independently of event participation. Even new members that join us in the future!

anyone who plays in the RPS Clan: You’ve still got about a day or so to go to the Clan Dojo & claim your 45k Endo from the new Ceremony-thing. There’s a plinth on a raised platform in the main room, you need to do some jumping to get to it. But 45k Endo, free, going soon.
